Although it is arguably impossible to pinpoint a single cause for the recent rise in
global crime, the main culprits are thought to be poverty and political oppression. A
commonality between the two appears to be the dissatisfaction of a people. Thus, it
is argued that global crime can be reduced through measures that promote public
feelings of well-being and security. To prove this, strategies that reduce poverty and
oppression will be analyzed.
Firstly, encouraging prosperity among poverty-stricken areas can be a very powerful
tool when combating crime. For example, a once dangerous area of my hometown in
Ottawa has undergone major infrastructural development over the past twenty
years. The addition of schools, libraries and quality health facilities led to the
establishment of a new economical status for the people who lived there. With the
rise of this new affluence came a major fall in crime rates. This clearly shows how
tackling the issue of poverty creates inroads against violations of the law.
In addition to this, providing people more political freedom can also reduce crime.
For instance, over the past ten years China has increasingly allowed critical comment
of its ruling party to appear in local newspapers. Despite the fact that this level of
freedom pales in comparison with many other countries, it is felt this thawing of
political control has done a lot to reduce crime rates across the country. Thus,
providing increasing levels of political freedom can be seen as a measure to combat
crime.
After analyzing the reduction of poverty and political oppression, it is felt that crime
is best tackled by reducing the causes of unrest among people. By following this
course of action, major reductions in global crime rates are expected.
